It's one of the fundamental questions we ask ourselves every day. More than ever, we are told it should be something new. Today, the clothing industry churns out 80 billion garments a year and employs every sixth person on Earth. Historically, the apparel trade has exploited labor, the environment, and intellectual property--and in the last three decades, with the simultaneous unfurling of fast fashion, globalization, and the tech revolution, those abuses have multiplied exponentially, primarily out of view. We are in dire need of an entirely new human-scale model.

C'est l'une des questions fondamentales que nous nous posons chaque jour. Aujourd'hui, l'industrie textile produit 80 milliards de vêtements par an et emploie une personne sur six sur terre. Historiquement, le commerce du vêtement a accumulé les profits en bafouant les droits du travail, de l'environnement et de la propriété intellectuelle. Au cours des trois dernières décennies, avec le déploiement simultané de la fast fashion, de la mondialisation et de la révolution technologique, ces abus se sont multipliés de façon exponentielle. Nous avons grand besoin d'un tout nouveau modèle, plus humain. Dana Thomas a parcouru le monde pour rencontrer des créateurs visionnaires et des entreprises qui sont en train de propulser l'industrie vers un avenir plus positif en revenant vers l'artisanat traditionnel ou en développant des technologies durables de pointe afin de rendre la mode plus vertueuse. Dans « Fashionopolis », elle met en lumière le renouveau du secteur à travers un ensemble de développements technologiques, comme l'impression de vêtements en 3-D, le traitement du denim plus respectueux de l'environnement, la fabrication intelligente, l'hyperlocalisme, le recyclage des tissus et même la fabrication de matériaux en laboratoire.
